Restoring a V12 BMW 850i That Spent 10 Years in a Garden - PT11
🕑 Added 2024-11-26 00:49:26 +0000 UTCEDIT: Apologies, I had to reupload the video.
A few of you commented that you didn't like the new visual and sound effects so I removed them. I know from experience if I get a few complaints now, it will be a thousand more once the video goes live. So it's back to normal now!
This also means that all of the comments are unfortunately gone, please feel free to comment again.
As always thank you for your feedback!

Direct Link - https://youtu.be/AOYiF7uedkQ of project Marseille! The topic of this episode is the rear suspension.
More precisely, BMWs first multi-link rear axle that consists of many, many bushings and ball joints. Took a while to overhaul this monster of a rear axle, but the end result is very satisfying.
To give you some behind-the-scenes insight, I've been on the hunt for a video editor. I'm simply overwhelmed with the amount of work that I have, and having a video editor would be huge for me.
For a while, I've been working with a nice guy from Latvia. I'd send him the footage, he'd do a rough cut, then a fine cut, and then I would do a final cut. This was helpful and it saved me about 50% of my time. But, after over a year of working together, he was still far off from being able to finish 80-90% of the video on his own, which is what I need. So I decided to search for someone new, and preferably local so I can get help with filming as well. You've probably seen me post about it on YT and Insta.
One local guy did reach out. He's a video editor by profession. I spent 8 hours with him showing him how I like things done. He then spent 30 hours editing this very episode and did 2 versions of which none were good. He just didn't have a good feel for what I wanted, and it was not financially viable to push it any further so we parted ways.
Finding a video editor won't be easy, but rest assured, I won't settle for average and I'll only proceed if that person understands the essence of the channel and how to maintain the same editing style.
Long-format videos are a nightmare to edit and it's not for everyone. There's so much that goes into it and it's ridiculously time-consuming.
I have a few more potential options, nothing too promising yet, but I'll keep trying. Anyway, just wanted to give you a little update on that.
In the end, I edited this entire episode on my own and added some new touches which you'll notice when you watch the episode. I hope you like it!

Maybe put a basket under the Press Conference Room?

Were the slow motion effects your idea or were they passed down from the original edit?
